Chapter 10: Be pragmatic and clarify the concept of art first

in the classroom.

All eyes widened as they watched the weekend sitting at the piano.

A suona player is ashamed to play the piano in front of the teachers and students of the piano department, is this a naked provocation?

Soon, under the eyes of everyone in the classroom, weekend's fingers began to fly on the black and white keys.

The introduction is a rapid jump of an ascending group that rains down in the classroom.

This introduction alone made the classroom instantly silent, and the students in the piano department were a little restless.

Wu Yu, who was standing next to Zhou Zhou, widened his eyes in surprise, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg.

Even if the piano students present play this series of skips, few of them can play it better than on the weekend.

Not only is the grain very clear, but every note is full of agility and fun, mixed with weird tonal changes, and such a complex relationship is perfectly handled by the weekend.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Basically all of you know how to play the piano, so you can naturally see that the piano level on the weekend has surpassed the undergraduate level of Puyin.

"What's the matter, he's really a graduate of the modern department, not the piano department?"

"This series of skipping notes, I feel a little numb just by listening to it, let alone playing it!"

"If you listen carefully, there are so many variations of sound patterns in this introduction, it's too complicated!"

"Fortunately, it's not a song in our textbook, otherwise it will definitely become my usual homework, and I have to write blood vomiting just to write how many sound patterns."

"You told me that he played suona???"

In the audience, the students of the piano department let out exclamations one after another.

A suona player can play the piano to this point, which is really a bit choking.

At the same time, the corners of the weekend's mouth rose slightly.

It's a little too early to be surprised.

Immediately after a short introduction, the theme begins with a difficult two-note melody, which requires a high degree of hands-on coordination.

In this case, in order to avoid mispronunciation, the player will reduce the speed appropriately and concentrate on every detail.

But on the weekend, at this time, the speed of his hands became faster, and I saw that his hands were about to fly on the keys, and the eyes in the audience couldn't keep up.

"Damn,! What kind of hand speed, my eyes can't keep up. ”

"Forget it, there is not a single wrong sound!"

"Whoever told me again that he was playing suona, I was in a hurry with him!"

"With this alternation of two-tone melodies, I bet even at the graduate level may not be better than him!"

"Don't scold, don't scold, I'm a graduate student, I admit that I can't play this song!"

"Who said you can't hold a master class on the weekend? Not to mention the master classes of the folk music department, I feel that he is qualified to open the master classes of the piano department. ”

On the stage, Wu Yu, who was standing next to the piano, was pale, and big sweat was dripping down his forehead.

Who am I? Where am I?

Wu Yu felt that his face was hot, and he actually showed off his skills in front of the weekend just now!

Everything is afraid of comparison, and there is no harm without comparison!

The song he played, in front of the weekend "Ghost Fire", was simply pediatric.

In the previous life of "Ghost Fire" at the weekend, even Rachmaninov once said that it was the most difficult etude in the world, not only technically tricky, covering almost all the technical difficulties of the piano, but also playing interestingly.

Liszt can be called a maniac, and you can see one or two from this piece.

At the same time, the piece gradually comes to an end, and the continuous skip in the introduction reappears.

Different from the smart and interesting introduction, this skipping melody becomes more weird, and the listener is a little cramped and uneasy, and the two-tone melody is like a quarrel, constantly crescendoing.

Then, at the height of the noise, the ghost fire burned out.

That's gone?

When the last note disappeared, everyone in the audience wanted to scold the mother, and they were about to quarrel with each other, so you ended it for me?

This Nima is even more hateful than meeting a broken dog!

Quiet.

The classroom fell silent.

At the same time, Weekend stood up from the chair, looked at Wu Yu with a sluggish face and smiled slightly: "What do you think of this song?" ”

Hearing the sound of the weekend, Wu Yu came back to his senses from the shock.

Just now he was standing next to the weekend, and he witnessed the whole weekend playing this song, and he felt it more deeply than others.

"I ......"

In front of so many students in the classroom, Wu Yu had to say, no matter how disobedient he was, "This piece is the most difficult of all the etudes I have ever seen." ”

"Then do you think this piece is art in your eyes?"

Murder and heart.

Wu Yu's face immediately turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.

If you want to say it, it is equivalent to slapping yourself in the face with your own hands.

If you don't count, he doesn't have such a thick skin.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to embarrass Wu Yu on the weekend, but patted him on the shoulder and said to everyone in the audience: "Art is not as sacred as everyone thinks. ”

"Who says funeral music can't be considered art?"

"In our Huaxia, it is a tradition to worship ancestors for thousands of years.

"In fact, even in the West, music was originally for religion, and music was born to propagate doctrines and influence believers, so what is the difference between this and funeral music?"

In the classroom, everyone watched the weekend on the stage from the original religious music in the West, to various forms of music in modern times, and from the ceremonial music of the Spring and Autumn Period in China to the current folk music.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, talked eloquently, and gave a very vivid music history lesson to the students in the audience.

The students who were ready to come to the stadium at the beginning listened with relish and concentration one by one, and occasionally gave applause and support during the weekend lectures.

In fact, these things are not new, and the teachers in the school have not said much, but because of the "Ghost Fire" that overwhelmed the audience on the weekend, the students brought a layer of filters when watching the weekend.

"It's ridiculous, we still want to play on the field, not to mention the technical things, but his knowledge of music history, it's not something that ordinary people can do."

"Thank you for the weekend, which made me realize how ignorant I really am."

"Don't talk about it, if you keep talking, I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into."

"It's so embarrassing, and if you still kick the field, you will be served by someone!"

After a class, the piano students in the classroom, who were originally looking for faults, were completely impressed by the weekend.

In terms of technology, the song "Ghost Fire" pressed everyone in the piano department to raise their heads.

In terms of knowledge, Weekend is the first to say about the thousands of years of musical history in the East and the West.

In every case, weekends made them feel ashamed of themselves.

At this moment, the bell rang for the end of class.

Jingle bells.

Wu Yu, who had been standing on the stage for a whole class, breathed a sigh of relief and could finally be relieved.

Hearing the bell for the end of class, he glanced at Wu Yu on the weekend, and finally said: "It's still the same sentence, art is not so sacred, there is no distinction between elegant and vulgar." ”

"Finally, I would like to give a word to all students, be pragmatic, first understand the concept of art, and then think about playing and creating, I believe you will make new discoveries."

"Finally, thank you, today's master class is over here, class is over!"

As soon as the words fell, the classroom was quiet for a second, followed by bursts of applause.

"Teacher Zhou!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"

"Teacher Zhou is mighty!"

Suddenly, a student with a more lively temperament suddenly shouted out to Teacher Zhou in the back.

This sentence of Teacher Zhou is sincere.

Immediately afterwards, the others also stood up one after another, and shouted out to the teacher one by one.

Director Li of the Department of Folk Music also smiled very happily at this time and took the lead in standing up and applauding for the weekend.

In this class, he can be said to be scared of listening to it, for fear of a car accident in class, but now it seems that with his own strength, he has completely convinced these students who originally came to play on the field.

This master class has finally come to a successful conclusion.

"Thank you, classmates!"

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic over the weekend, I also responded with a smile.

"Teacher has worked hard!"

"Class is over, everyone go back, don't delay the next class!"

Seeing that the students in the classroom were reluctant to leave, they had to open their mouths to catch up on the weekend, which made the students have to leave the classroom.

When the students in the classroom were almost gone, Director Li of the Department of Folk Music stepped forward excitedly and held the weekend's hand tightly.

"Hard, hard, today's masterclass was even more successful than I imagined!"

Beside Director Li, there was another middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, who also took the initiative to introduce himself at this time: "Hello on the weekend, I am He Hong, the head of the piano department. ”

"Hello Director He!"

Zhou Zhou nodded and shook hands with He Hong.

"On the weekend, I have a reluctant ......" He Hong looked at the weekend and said with some embarrassment.

"Director He, if you have something to say, just say it!" Weekend said with a smile.

"That's the case, I want to take the song "Ghost Fire" you just played as an extracurricular assignment in the piano department, I don't know if it's convenient for you to authorize it?"

As the head of the piano department, Director He listened to this piece more from the perspective of teaching.

"Ghost Fire" is known as the most difficult etude, and it almost encompasses the technical difficulties of the piano.

When practicing this piece, the teachers can clearly know where the students' weaknesses are, which can be said to be twice the result with half the effort for the teacher's teaching.

From a pedagogical point of view, this piece is no less valuable than the famous songs of Mozart and Beethoven.

"Of course it's convenient." Zhou Zhou nodded and said: "Puyin is also my alma mater, and as a Puyin person, I am personally very happy to be able to contribute to the education of my alma mater." ”

"Thank you!" When He Hong heard that the weekend had agreed, he excitedly grabbed the weekend's hand and shook it a few times to express his gratitude.

"What do you mean, Lao He, dig my corner in front of me!" Director Li of the Department of Folk Music couldn't help but joke next to him, which also made the atmosphere of the scene more natural.

"Director, the meal over there in the cafeteria has been arranged."

At this time, the assistant teacher of the Department of Folk Music walked up to Director Li and reminded him in a whisper.

"Yes, let's go eat first, I haven't eaten in the school cafeteria for a long time on the weekend, I'll take you to reminisce about the food in the alma mater cafeteria!"

Director Li of the Department of Folk Music blushed, he was poor and short-spirited, as the poorest department in Puyin, he only invited him to eat in the cafeteria on weekends.

"Then thank you, Director Li, I really miss the school cafeteria."

I also agreed to save face on the weekend, and did not refuse Director Li's kind invitation.

Soon, the group came to the Puyin Canteen, which attracted many onlookers along the way.

"Hey, isn't that a celebrity weekend? I actually let the two heads of the Department of Folk Music and the Department of Piano accompany me, what a big panache! ”

"When did Pu Yin fall to this point and be so low to a star?"

"Is it the one that released the funeral song album?"

"It's not him, it's very popular on the Internet during this time, and his name can often be seen on the Weibo hot search list."

"Cut, isn't it just a star!"

At this time, a piano student who had just finished a weekend master class was not happy when he heard the chatter around him.

"What's wrong with the star, have you eaten your meal, what qualifications do you have to be yin and yang here!"

The piano students immediately had a hard time for the weekend.

"Who do you say is yin and yang? What did I say, didn't he release an album of funeral songs, I was not wrong! ”

The young people were so angry that they didn't say a word and got into a fight with each other.

"What's wrong with the funeral song, the music of our ancestors thousands of years ago was used for sacrifice, this is called ritual music, do you understand it, you still look down on the funeral music, cut!"

The student of the piano department saw that this person had a contempt for the funeral song, so he immediately took out the words he had said in class on the weekend and refuted them fiercely.

At this time, it was the peak time for lunch meals, and the piano department had the largest number of students in the Puhai Conservatory of Music, so there were other piano students passing by in the cafeteria.

After listening to the master class on the weekend, these piano students have a great impression of the weekend, and when they heard that the two were arguing here, many people immediately came up and attacked them.

"Who looks down on the funeral song of the weekend?"

"Funeral music is the joy of elegance!"

"You look down on the funeral song on the weekend now, maybe when you hang up in the future, your family will have to pay someone to play "The Great Funeral".

Seeing the passing piano students joining forces and hugging for the weekend, this person suddenly blushed and fled in shame.
